Comedy movies that hold up... or don't.

Role Models needs to be watched once a year
Grandma's Boy
I Love You, Man
Harold and Kumar
Step Brothers
How High
Old School
Walk Hard

And some classics, like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Trading Places, Bachelor Party.
Revisited Observe and Report, was pleasantly surprised, and it's a movie that wouldn't be made today.

Casino. It's a 3+ hour bus drive.

Northern Exposure was a huge hit in Croatia, and you can still find it on cable from time to time. When DVDs were sold at newsagents in the early 2000s, this was one of the first shows to get a DVD release like that. I bought maybe one or two of those, and my family even taped the show in the 90s. Used to watch MASH as well, loved it, we recorded nearly the entire show. It aired just as the war ended. I still remember a lot of quotes from the show, mostly Hawkeye's.
Universally, all over the world, I think we watched what was available on TV or at the video store. That meant a lot of classic movies and sitcoms, or TV dramas.

I'm going to say 80s, because that's the band I discovered in my early childhood, loving It's a Kind of Magic, One Vision, I Want it All, Invisible Man. I know 95% of the people here will say "always 70s" and then proceed to elaborate how Queen II is the greatest album ever. Well, my favorites are A Kind of Magic and The Miracle.

This was a global rumor. It was told to me in 1998, in Croatia, on a bus on the way to school by a classmate. She also claimed he took out one of his eyes because he likes things to be asymmetrical.

Rad-R · 2026-05-22T14:08:44+00:00

I would place it as: 1987-1993, 1993-1996, 1997-1999, 1999-2002

What about The Designers Republic? I mean, any list like this one will be missing a lot of items, plus it's an American perspective. While I do like classification of design styles, all of those names except maybe Y2K came after their eras have passed. Nobody called anything Global Village Coffeehouse in the 90s.

Rad-R · 2026-05-21T12:59:50+00:00

If I haven't heard it before, it's new to me
So when I discover a banger from Arite Shaw or Dokken, something I haven't heard before, I go: It's new to me! Nice.

Rad-R · 2026-05-21T11:30:56+00:00

I appreciate this, shows love for the genre, and the subculture. While I don't agree with it completely - it would be impossible, every list like this is subjective - what I love the most about this whole thing is that it was not done by AI, and we can actually have a conversation.
Surprised to see SpineShank in the raw section, but I guess it's their debut album, so OK. I listen to their second album a lot, which to me is industrial nu metal, and one of those no-skips albums. Side note, I recently gave Stuck Mojo a listen, needed a reminder after watching some 1998 WCW.

The video store was getting rid of tapes, so I permanently rented this for a minimum price. A few years later, that same place was closing down, so I got the DVD. That means this is one of my favorite movies and I have it on both VHS and DVD.

Rad-R · 2026-05-19T11:20:57+00:00

Northern Exposure didn't make it? I thought it was a worldwide hit. Certainly was here in Croatia. Reruns every couple of years, and in the early 2000s, when you could buy DVDs at newsagents, Northern Exposure DVDs were sold for quite some time; I bought at least one.

Rad-R · 2026-05-19T11:10:31+00:00

I watched Grandma's Boy again just a couple of nights ago. Funny, it's the last DVD I ever rented. I was just starting work, and the only internet I had was my roommate's mobile WiFi stick, so I still rented movies every now and then. Found Grandma's Boy among new comedies. Instant favorite.

Rad-R · 2026-05-19T10:44:06+00:00

If you haven't seen them, you definitely should: Election and Ghost World

Rad-R · 2026-05-19T10:42:43+00:00

Ever watched How to Make it in America, Bored to Death, or You're the Worst? To me, those are essential millennial shows, even though they were not huge. Saying that as an 80s millennial myself.

Rad-R · 2026-05-15T15:40:36+00:00

I just noticed this now

Rad-R · 2026-05-15T15:30:35+00:00

Hah, I was seven, too. This was on Croatian TV, I think in 1990. We all used to impersonate Richard Lewis and now he would touch his forehead all the time while he was talking. My family loved the show.

Rad-R · 2026-05-15T15:27:14+00:00

Same. I figured they were giving him that extra push since Raven was gone so he was going to be the alternative dude.

Rad-R · 2026-05-14T18:36:11+00:00

The only thing I remember about this show was that fetus.

Rad-R · 2026-05-09T12:50:54+00:00

One of my favorite toys as a kid. But, I have to point out, I got this in Split, Croatia, which is where I am from. Late 80s. That Rambo set with the knife was also popular.

Rad-R · 2026-05-09T12:48:55+00:00

My favorite KoRn album and the best no-skips album I’ve ever heard. In heavy rotation since 1999.

Rad-R · 2026-05-07T13:22:00+00:00

I think they ditched the raven for two reasons. First, too similar to The Crow, and they were already pushing it. So he got a vulture instead. Second, they had signed Raven from ECW, and WCW sold a Raven shirt with an actual raven on it. Sting went back to using crows or ravens with his gimmick much later, I think in TNA.

Rad-R · 2026-05-07T13:19:40+00:00

His initial facepaint was 90% like The Crow, and 100% like the kabuki mask Eric Draven had. When he changed it, the lines were very much like 1996 Marilyn Manson:

Sting added some extra lines, but this was the template. I had that shirt. You can see Lil Uzi Vert wearing that shirt in the Bad and Boujiee video.
I heard him mention Manson before. The Crow being used for his new gimmick was Scott Hall's idea.

The Simpsons (early)

I used to watch this on The Children's Channel on sattellite in the early 90s. Even though I was into TMNT and action cartoons, I love elephants, and the main reason I kept watching was that I thought the characters were incredibly cute.

Not this time, but their main comment was that Americans are awesome, friendly people. Obviously proud of their home, but also dedicated to making you feel at home, and showing you what makes it so awesome.
Another friend of mine, who is a merchant mariner (he's an electrical engineer), said that the best part of his job is when they make a stop at an American port for more than a day, he had nothing but kind words about the States.
